From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

The aircraft pulled to the left and the pilot steered to the right to correct the direction. Then the right brake seemed to have locked up, aircraft then entered the over run and stopped. Once the aircraft was moved back to the taxi way the aircraft was started and taxied back to parking with no issues. No injuries to the pilot and no damage to the aircraft.
